The previous thread has not been certified. There are mystery people still posting on it. I refuse to accept this new thread. I'm going to sue. And get the old thread back. I was on the old thread and suddenly there is a new one. No MSM gets to tell me there is a new thread...

The wind does seem headed that way, doesn't it?
Trumpeters are complete fascists who will stop at nothing
What next an extermination programme for Registered Democrats.

May yet happen...
Not sure how fair it was, but I recall a Maldives election where a guy got 47% in the first round (well ahead of the next placed guy), but failed to win the second round.

How many news channels does one country need?

Leoffler and Perdue have coronavirus related scandals and Georgia is entering its THIRD wave.
The Dems have an effective vote by mail operation setup, the GOP do not.
If the GOP held on in the Senate it would ensure the compromises America needs under a pragmatic Biden presidency are made

No idea how most of them make it work business wise.
Don't take anything for granted.

Also Collins had incumbency and a solid record of previous success in what is otherwise a solidly Democrat state. Loeffler has never won an election. The fact that she got such a small share of the GOP vote in the first round probably says a lot as well. I imagine a lot of Republican voters won't be prepared to vote for her.
1. Do not obey in advance
[you bent over backwards to enable Trump's bs, but it has not spared you]
2. Defend institutions
[...and then they came for us, and there was no-one left to defend us!]
3. Beware the one party state
[star with not working towards it]
4. Take responsibility for the face of the world
[...your shrill partisanship has really made things worse]
5. Remember professional ethics
[ah hahahahaha]
6. Be wary of paramilitaries
[yeah, we mean your NRA chums]
10. Believe in truth
[or at least exchange phone numbers. Call her, you might learn to love her]
11. Investigate
[probably laptop shops aren't where the real action is, but have a merit badge for effort]
16. Learn from peers in other countries
[let's start with the names of those countries]
17. Listen for dangerous words
[and probably stop using them]
18. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives
[I can see your mistake, you were unthinkable when the calm was here]
Don't forget that in the 2022 midterms the elections will be those last fought in 2016.
In 2016 the GOP won 20 States that they will be defending in an election won by Trump. Every single Senate seat went with the Presidential election, the only time that has ever happened. If there is a split in the GOP between Trumpists and others in the GOP then that could spell trouble for them.
The 2022 Senate map is actually pretty good for the Democrats, but the Dems screwing up the senate races has almost become a biennial tradiation.
If the radical far left take control of Congress and push President Biden to adopt their agenda there will be a huge GOP turnout in 2022 to match that for the Democrats in 2018
Incidentally i get the impression that AOC has far more about her than the stereotypical "left wing lunatic" that she is often portrayed as. She may or may not be pretty radical. But she also appears to be an extremely astute politician, who isn't interested in radicalism unless it can be moulded to an electoral winning coalition.
https://morningconsult.com/form/tracking-voter-trust-in-elections/ those lines look bad news for the GOP in GA runoffs to me.
Loeffler, the incumbent who may face charges for inside trading off a Senate briefing on Covid, was challenged by Collins for her failure to be pro-Trump enough. She got 25.9%.
Collins, the even more pro-Trump candidate, got 20.0%.
Between them, they got 45.9%, well below the 49.7% achieved by incumbent Purdue in the regular Georgia Senate race.
One is to dump Trump.
The other is to stick with him.
Both those look like terrible choices, from the point of view of keeping their coalition together. (One of them is clearly better from the point of view of accounting for your actions in the hereafter, but that's another matter.)
A third way of studied neutrality might have worked, but it's rapidly getting too late for that, surely?
(And as for Fox, Rupe's global business would presumably take a massive hit if Fox went from backing a dodgy right-winger to backing someone seeking to cancel the result of an election?)
2002 the GOP flipped the Senate (the Democrats holding it in 2000 despite Bush's Presidential victory).
2018 the GOP increased their majority.
1982 no change in GOP seats.
i.e. only vote for Trump if they have 5 votes, voting for Trump as a dissenter must be the worst place to be for the judges. So its either Trump wins 6-3, 5-4 with Roberts in the 4 or by far the most likely 9-0 loss.
In 2002 the Democrats controlled the Senate before the midterms ie the non Presidential party so a totally different scenario to the President's party holding both chambers of congress if the Democrats took the Senate.
In 2018 the Democrats took the House picking up 41 seats in the process and reversed complete GOP control of Congress before the midterms.
In 1982 Reagan saw the GOP lose a smaller 26 seats but then the Democrats already held the House beforehand so Reagan's party did not have complete control of Congress before the midterms so a different scenario
The Supreme Court has (a) tended to make political decisions 9-0, (b) not been that much of a friend of Trump this electoral cycle, and (c) is full of people with their eyes on the history books.
The 2018 House election went in one way and the Senate the other. Its entirely possible the same could happen in 2022 too. The 2022 House election will be House races last fought in 2020, the 2022 Senate election will be Senate races last fought in 2016.
If you can't understand the difference that is on you. The House is not the Senate.
The issue he has is that the number of ballots remaining is dropping fast. It was 130,000, when the lead was 20,000. It's now 15,000 with just 75,000 ballots remaining. Worse the remaining are largely provisional, so not all will count.
It's *possible* he pulls this out the hat, but he's like a guy who has to gets heads up 10 times in a row; just a single bad batch (or indeed a meaningful number of ballots being cast aside as the voters' postals had already been counted) and he's out.
57/43 as in 2008 gives the opportunity to be radical, not 50/50.
Biden 1.08
Trump 13
The Democrats would have complete control of the 3 branches of the Federal government if they took the Senate and there would inevitably be a GOP backlash in the 2022 midterms as there was in 1994 and 2010

If you are a Trump Ultra, no one in the mass media is listening to you, you are being dismissed even by the once beloved Fox News. You still believe but, more importantly, you hate the other side and are getting increasingly stoked up.
What is more concerning is Trump is taking the bulk of the elected GOP reps with him right now. Is it a way of keeping the base warmed up until we get the Georgia Senate race done or is it more?
The danger is that its more, its building resentment, which is building trouble. Sure its 90%+ Trump will just walk out of the White House rather than be escorted but this building of resentment is going to see someone get killed.
I emailed someone in the US who used to work in the part of government that makes their business to understand trouble and asked what shes heard. Her former colleagues are reportedly genuinely concerned about the instability of the country in the short term. The hope is that it will stop on the runway before it takes off, we haven't seen big protests for example, but the worry is violence by small groups combined with Trump dismantling of whatever furniture of government he can is going to create more and more tension.
